Background and approach
His approach is direct and down-to-earth, avoiding complex jargon. Mike draws on client-centred methods to keep the conversation focused on the client’s experience. He also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to look at unhelpful thoughts and solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals.
Together these approaches help with mood, confidence, anger and practical decisions about relationships or work. Clients can expect a mix of talking, simple exercises and goal-setting. Sessions often cover communication habits, coping strategies and ways to rebuild self-worth after difficult events.
He supports people facing divorce, infidelity, career change and other major life shifts. Work is tailored to each person’s situation and pace. Mike encourages honest feedback so the plan can change when something isn’t helping.
He will help people find clearer thinking and workable steps toward feeling more in control.

How these approaches work online
Client-centred therapy focuses on understanding the client’s viewpoint and building a trusting conversation. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects what they say and helps them make sense of feelings and choices. This approach suits people who need space to be heard and to explore what matters most.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses short exercises and simple skills to test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours. CBT is often helpful for low mood, anxiety, problems with confidence and practical life changes.
Solution-focused therapy concentrates on goals and small steps that move a person forward. Sessions set clear, short-term targets and track progress with doable actions between meetings. This style works well when someone wants rapid, practical changes in relationships, work or daily routine.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try. Plans can be adjusted as progress is reviewed so the work stays relevant and useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility and access to regular support from home or work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit people with lower bandwidth, and chat or text messaging can be used for brief check-ins or ongoing coaching. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, caring duties and other commitments.
